Queen’s offers 10 dynamic engineering programs

Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is the most universal and versatile of engineering disciplines.

Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is a challenging and dynamic profession serving society to improve the quality of our life, the health of our social system, the continuity of our economy and business activities, and our competitive position in the international market place.

Computer Engineering

Did you know recent surveys have shown that Electrical and Computer Engineers are amongst the highest demand university graduates and that Computer Engineers are listed amongst the professions with the highest quality of life?

Engineering Chemistry

Engineering Chemistry graduates bring a strong background in both chemistry and chemical engineering to treat problems of industrial interest.

Engineering Physics

Thinking of Engineering Physics? It could lead to a career in Science & Technology, Aerospace, Computers & Electronics, Image Processing & Medical Physics, Finance, Education & Management, or Academic, Industrial & Government Research.

Geological Engineering

A Geological Engineer combines a knowledge of geological materials and earth engineering design principles to create viable and sustainable projects.

Mathematics and Engineering

The Mathematics and Engineering undergraduate programme is a challenging one. Students who are most successful in the programme have deep interests in both Mathematics and Engineering. If you are an Engineering student wondering whether Mathematics and Engineering is for you, a good question to ask yourself is, “Do you want to know why and not just what?”

CHEE 332 Design of Unit Operations W | K 4.5

Lecture: yesLab: noTutorial: yesThis course is part of the Engineering Design and Practice Sequence offered at the 3rd year level to students following the Chemical Engineering CHE2 Option. Heat and mass transfer knowledge is applied in the analysis and design of unit operations, including separation processes and heat exchanging equipment. The equilibrium stage concept is used to perform calculations and size separation processes including distillation, gas absorption/stripping and liquid-liquid extraction. Heat transfer processes are taught with an emphasis on the design various types of heat exchanging equipment, including shell and tube heat exchangers, condensers and reboilers. The chemical process design component of the course involves a series of activities, dealing with the design of separation processes, with an emphasis on bioseparations, heat exchanger sizing and design, process hazards analysis, implementation of instrumentation and construction of piping and instrument diagrams. In addition to choosing and sizing unit operations and implementing appropriate process instrumentation, the students will learn to use simulation tools and will incorporate economics, safety and environmental responsibility in all stages of the design. The course is integrated with CHEE 361 “Engineering Communications, Ethics and Professionalism.” Yes
